Chapter 402 Straying Down the Wrong Path
… …
Xiao Bao fell into a demonic palace.
He climbed up from the ground, his figure slowly shifting and stretching, transforming into a black-haired boy of about ten years old. A chilling expression, unsuited to his tender and beautiful face, flickered across it.
A slender and tall figure appeared at the palace gate.
The man was dressed in a well-tailored black steward's uniform. The leather gloves accentuated his long, slender fingers. His appearance was extremely delicate and beautiful, with pink, shoulder-length short hair, half of which was tied into a bun at the back of his head, exuding a frivolous and carefree air.
He looked at the approaching black-haired boy, gave a respectful salute, and said with a smile, "Young Master, long time no see. Welcome back ~"
"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see Grandfather!" Xiao Bao gritted his teeth in anger.
He Luan gestured with his left hand, inviting him in, "Young Master, please enter. The Demon Lord knows you are coming and has been waiting for a long time."
Inside the hall, a man in a black robe sat in a high position, his aura treacherous and unpredictable, inspiring instinctive fear.
Xiao Bao walked all the way in, but his expression did not change at all. His delicate and outstanding eyebrows and eyes carried a frivolous arrogance, completely different from the cute and obedient little boy he was in front of Sang Luo. No one would have imagined that he hid it so well on weekdays!
The Demon Lord looked at the boy with an extremely kind and satisfied expression, "Yu Ze, are you satisfied with the gifts that Grandfather gave you?"
Xiao Bao's full name was Yu Ze. He licked his lips, still savoring the taste, "I'm full, but the taste is still a bit lacking. The bloodline talents of those demon kings are too inferior…"
He looked regretful, and the words he spoke sent chills down one's spine.
"It's a pity that Mother came, and I couldn't eat Father!"
The demon bloodline from one's own family is a coveted tonic for the Primal Demon!
The Demon Lord's expression suddenly darkened upon hearing this, and he snorted coldly, "Don't mention that unfilial disciple and grandson to me. He turned against me for a female, becoming my enemy. I painstakingly resurrected him back then, but he dared to join forces with the Saint Ruler of the Holy Domain and the Phoenix Venerable to destroy the main soul body that I had painstakingly cultivated!"
His grand plan of ten thousand years was about to succeed, but Quan Jin disrupted it. He had no choice but to hide and survive until now, returning to the Demon Realm to recuperate for so many years before he barely condensed a soul body again, with less than 10% of his peak strength!
He thought that his meticulously planned plan for many years would end in failure, but he didn't expect that his disappointing demon grandson would send him a great gift—
A pure-blooded Primal Demon with a top-tier bloodline!
Xiao Bao awakened the Devouring Talent at birth, devouring a Creation-level beast, the Balu God. Such a terrifying talent greatly surprised the Demon Lord.
It doesn't matter if a disobedient son and demon grandson are ruined. As long as he can bring this great-grandson into his possession, the Demon Race will surely usher in its peak again!
At the same time, a trace of apprehension arose in his heart. What was the origin of that female? She could actually give birth to a pure-blooded Primal Demon with such talent with a demon beast hybrid!
He had suspected it back then, smelling a trace of Hongmeng Yin Body aura deep in her soul… Could it be true?
The few Hongmeng Yin Bodies that appeared since the beginning of creation always appeared in the years of great turmoil and upheaval, when the major forces disintegrated and were unable to resist the power of destruction. Their appearance brought a glimmer of hope, but often, their ending was tragic!
He remembered that the previous Hongmeng Yin Body died tragically on the night of her wedding, without even leaving behind her bones.
Hehe.
How interesting.
If that female is really the legendary Hongmeng Yin Body, the Demon Realm must obtain her and give birth to more pure-blooded demon clans with high talents!
"Xiao Yu Ze must miss your mother, why don't Grandfather send someone to invite your mother to the Demon Race as a guest, so that you can be by your mother's side at all times!" The Demon Lord said with a smile, a gleam of light flashing in his eyes.
Xiao Bao, "I advise you not to pay attention to my mother, my mother can only be mine!"
"Alright, alright, Grandfather won't pay attention to your mother. It's not worth it to make my good great-grandson unhappy for a female," the Demon Lord said, making up for it. "I'll send someone to capture your father back. As long as you devour your father's demon blood, your power will be greatly consolidated. The entire Demon Realm will regard you as the sole supreme master, and no one in this world will be your opponent again."
Xiao Bao shook his head, "No need, I lied to Father, he knows everything, it won't be so easy to deceive him again, instead, it will startle the snake and make Mother and the others vigilant."
"Besides, I've changed my mind now, I don't really want Father anymore…"
A strange smile appeared on Xiao Bao's face.
Hehe, Mother's taste is the most delicious, he wants to save it for last and savor it slowly!
"Young Master, another batch of new goods has arrived, would you like to go and take a look?" He Luan walked over and said with a smile.
Xiao Bao nodded and left.
He Luan looked at the Demon Lord, "The growth rate of the Little Highness is amazing. I believe it won't be long before he can lead my Demon Race to revitalize its glory!"
The Demon Lord looked in the direction where Xiao Bao left, a deep meaning flashing in his eyes.
… …
After Sang Luo came out of the Demon Pool, she reunited with Minos and the others. Not long after, Quan Jin also came back.
He came back alone, without Xiao Bao by his side.
Sang Luo glanced behind him, but didn't see Xiao Bao's figure. She frowned in confusion, "Where's Xiao Bao?"
Quan Jin's expression was cold and stern, but when he looked at Sang Luo, he carried a trace of trepidation and hesitation, as if he didn't know whether or not to tell her the truth.
An ominous feeling rose in Sang Luo's heart, "…What happened to Xiao Bao? Tell me clearly!"
"Luo Luo, that child, cannot be kept!" He said word by word, his voice extremely cold!
Sang Luo was stunned, "What?"
"He disguised himself too well, I never noticed that he had colluded with the Demon Lord long ago!"
Minos and Fei Yuan also looked at each other in dismay, not to mention Sang Luo, who was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.
Minos was thoughtful, "No wonder I can never see this child's timeline."
He rarely takes the initiative to peep into the timelines of children. Looking at a life to its end is too bland and boring. He cherishes the days when he spends time with the children, watching them grow up day by day and move towards an unknown and mysterious future. Only after this demon fetus was born did he become curious and used his time ability to peek into his future, but what he got was a blank space.
It seems that the Demon Lord found him back then.
Sang Luo still couldn't believe it, "How could it be… Xiao Bao is so well-behaved and obedient, how could he collude with the Demon Lord!"
Quan Jin shook his head and sighed, "I didn't believe it at first either, but the matter happened before my eyes. He and Demon Lord Cang Fu joined forces inside and out, luring me into a trap. I was too anxious when I saved him and was ambushed. When I woke up, I was imprisoned in a dungeon. If you hadn't arrived at that time, I'm afraid it would have been difficult for me to escape…"
Quan Jin continued to say,
"I have been searching for the Demon Lord's remnant soul all these years, but I have gained nothing every time. I thought there were spies among my subordinates, but now I know that Xiao Bao revealed the action plan every time to the Demon Lord…"
Sang Luo felt a pain in her chest, and her body trembled.
The pain in Quan Jin's heart was no less than hers.
He thought that with his own example and careful guidance of the demon fetus, he could make him grow up healthy like ordinary children, but he didn't expect to be taken advantage of, induced to fall into evil, and stray down the wrong path.
